Newcastle (A) - EFL Cup - Match Thread

[Sly]

Is it extra time and penalties?
 

Not that they won’t score. They’ve had 3 chances so far 

[SheppyFox]

My father in law has just text and said watching Thomas try to defend against Almiron makes him feel like Rainman felt when his evil brother tried to force him onto a flight that wasn’t Qantas. It makes you want to bite/hit yourself.

[moore_94]

Trying to get Ndidi into any bit of form and he is quite literally having to defend the WHOLE midfield himself with absolutely zero support or pressure or anything from anyone else

[Beechey]

Perez absolutely has to put Daka in on goal there. The space to pass is massive.

[Guest Lako42]

Atmosphere sounds wank 

[SafewayFox]

All our players look like they’re running in cement compared to their players.

 

Men vs Boys out there.

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

This bodes well for us shithousing a win here. They could be 4 up. 

[tom27111]

We're just so slow.

 

I don't even mean in possession, I just mean everyone is so slow.

 

Why? They didn't used to be.

[Arkie Bennett]

It's like we're just waiting for the inevitable.

I can't remember a more unpleasant match to watch.

What about the home game against them on Boxing Day? 

[Kinowe Soorie]

Perez is quality isn’t he…

[Cincinnati Fox]

The difference between pope and ward is massive.

[Grebfromgrebland]

In fairness we're deliberately letting them have the ball up to our box. It's not pretty but it's our tactics for the game.

 

We're hoping to catch them on the break.

[moore_94]

How is this not about 4-0

Strangely, I can feel a sh!thouse 1-0 coming on 🤣

Perez 35 yard screamer 89th minute 

[trabuch]

Newcastle can't hit a barn door.

[adam]

That effort there. Perez just couldn't be arsed to follow his man. So poor 

 

 

[fox_favourite]

Are we actually trying??????

[PhillippaT]

Odds on it still being 0-0 at HT?

[phoneticerror]

We’re so soft at the minute.

[RonnieTodger]

Men against boys at the minute

[Guest Lako42]

Do all of our players play for another team when they aren't playing for us? 

 

I've never seen a team so ****ed in every game. 

[Nod.E]

It's when, not if they score

[foxes_rule1978]

We really are shit

Commentary nice and balanced,  good to see  makes a nice change at Newcastle.

To be fair, what is there to comment about where we are concerned? How consistently shit we are?
